[UPD][LINUXLIVEISO][MINER] MinerAgent 1.5 - A small Linux Live System (amd64) for mining CryptoCurrency (bootable iso)
# Xmas Day release 2014

I would like to announce a new release of MinerAgent.
Version 1.5 adds dga's fastrie Riecoin miner, LucasJones multicoin cpuminer and wolf9466 for Monero/Bytecoin CryptoNight
It now supports a bunch of new PoW functions on CPU;
This should cover a most coins currently being traded that are minable.
To get it under 100MB, additional binaries are stripped and linked to busybox

MinerAgent is a small [~100MB] (Linux) Debian Live iso, preconfigured for CPU Mining Crytocurrency
(Primecoin Riecoin CryptoNight JackpotCoin Quark X11 SHA256D SCRYPT )
it comes with all needed libraries, sshd, perl, python, fail2ban, htop, screen & tmux
It includes lots of miners, see changelogs and readme for details.
It is based on Debian 8 (sid debian live)

This iso should boot on any modern 64 bit PC or server and provide quick access to beeeeer rpool ypool xrampool and gpool pools and probably many others ****
It should also work generically with most stratum, getwork and x.pushthrough pools with a SCRYPT, SHA256D, PRIMECOIN, PROTOSHARES or QUARK based Proof of Work

To use: Insert into computer, or connect .iso to lights out or remote access console. Boot from disk or iso.
Please change your password!

You can mine with the following commands (example). To access remotely, use Putty (Windows) or ssh (Unix).
RIC ypool: xptminer -o http://ypool.net -u <yourusername>.<workername> -p <password>
XMR cpuminer-multi -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.org:80 -u $PAYOUT -p x
QRK coinmine.pl minerd-unclebob -a quark -o stratum+tcp://mine1.coinmine.pl:6010 -u username -p x
CryptoNight (No AES-NI): cpuminer-LJ-multi -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.org:80 -u $PAYOUT -p x
Jackpotcoin: cpu-jackpotcoin -a jackpot -o stratum+tcp://jpc.hashatme.com:3333 -u Username -p x
other SCrypt (ie: DOGE): [cpuminer-multi | minerd-unclebob] -a scrypt -o $POOLURL -u Worker -p x
other SHA256D (ie: BTC): [minerd-unclebob | cpuminer-multi] -a sha256d -o $POOLURL -u Worker -p x

You can also autoconfigure MinerAgent by including vendor class "MinerAgent" options in DHCP Scope.
This should work on both Microsoft DHCP and ISC DHCP
example: 001 miner-binary = minerd-unclebob | 002 = miner-options = -algo scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum6.dogehouse.org:993 -u username.worker -p password x | automine-enabled = 1

This Linux Live system requires no local storage and has no persistence. Passwords and any local configurations will be lost on reboot.
It is recommended that any local configurations be stored on a remote persistent store accessed via scp/ssh or pushed to the miner by DHCP.
No "CryptoCurrency" exists in this iso, nor does it exist in the mining environment once booted. A miner submits shares on behalf of your payout address.

Miners included have been signed with MinerAgent public key. These miners were compiled from author or fork maintainer git repos with no modifications to the source.
Always be careful with unknown miner binaries. Malicious miners have been discovered in the wild!

Comments, Improvements, Feature Requests and Constructive Criticisms would be appreciated.

[cyberfixy]

Hello, i appreciate with your work.
Maybe you should put another cpuminer like Quark CPU Mine or Qubit CPU Miner, so we can choose more alt coin to mining with your Miner Agent.

Thank's

[MiWCryptoCurrencyMA]

hi cyberfixy, thanks for the idea.
i have included unclebob minerd for quark, as well as generic scrypt and sha256d support.

if you can suggest any other miners for linux, let me know.

new version 1.4.1 updated and signed image published.

So this is for CPU mining only? I really like how small this distro is, the DHCP auto configuration and no local persistence (no more worn out flash drives!). However I currently use BAMT for GPU mining and this doesn't seem to have all the AMD/ATI drivers/libraries for that.

[MiWCryptoCurrencyMA]

Hi,

I only learned of BAMT and SMOS tonight; these are targeting ATI and Nvidia GPU mining.
As these drivers are proprietary, there may be issues around legality of distribution as the user is not presented with AMD/Nvidia terms of use...
This is only CPU mining and originally targeted only CPU coins such as XPM and PTS. As people asked for more coins/miners, I included them in the bundle.

I considered including GPU drivers, but it would bloat this out too much. Will think about it.

[MiWCryptoCurrencyMA]

Ive done some more reading, and i think prepacking AMD or NVIDIA drivers without a redistribution license from the vendor could land you in hot water.
You may not have AMD or NVIDIA lawyers on your case today, but this is inevitable.

I hope that the community can continue to package AMD and NVIDIA binaries without fear of legal repercussions.
I will contact AMD & NVIDIA by email to determine if one can obtain a redistribution license gratis for the purposes of selling more AMD and NVIDIA products.

Thank you for your response. I understand you not wanting to distribute proprietary code without a license to do so and I respect that. If I get into CPU mining, your distro will be my first choice.

This is a great iso! 

I was also able to run the live build off your git repository, however I am new at this, so can you tell me, after I boot up my new iso, why some things do not work such as 'ifconfig' or 'sudo ifconfig'?    It works if I burn your iso, but if I burn the one generated from my "lb build", it does not.   Other things are also not working, but it does show your boot screen and motd text, etc. so it seems close.  It's like I am missing something, or using the wrong debian image maybe...?

[cmate]

Can you add wireless adapter support (wlan0 / wpa)?     Or at least tell me how you would do it?   I am somewhat familiar with live-build, but not sure how to add wireless support with some pre-defined ssids.

[Grantson]

Looks good, I was going to install debian on one of my old pcs and let it run cpu miner then found this.

I've made a bootable usb and plan to try it out tonight when i get home.
do any of the CPU miners on here support X11 (Darkcoin etc) or is there scope to add it?


Thanks
Grant

[sleepdog]

Any thoughts about adding cryptonight algo coins mining to this?

[MiWCryptoCurrencyMA]

Actually yes. I have an internal build of 1.5 that uses wolf's cryptonight miner.
I will release this updated version soon. :-)

[MiWCryptoCurrencyMA]

finally! new release for xmas 2014
with riecoin jackpotcoin miner and cryptonight miners, have fun!
